Its most riveting set piece, however, is a shoot-out—a police bust gone wrong at a futuristic cruise ship terminal in Hong Kong’s Kowloon Bay. A former protégé of the great Johnnie To, Cheang deploys every camera movement imaginable as the violence spills out the terminal’s passenger lobby and down its escalators and glass corridors, but he never loses control of perspective. Splitting the difference between Michael Mann and Brian De Palma, it’s a sequence that could teach any number of big-budget Hollywood movies a thing or four about action filmmaking.
